<Warning>
  **Pricing Update:** Effective April 1, 2026, Cloud hosting prices will increase by 20% and RPC add-on pricing will update to \$5 per 1M requests. [Learn more about these changes](/en/other/pricing-update-april-2026).
</Warning>

SQD Cloud uses a transparent pay-as-you-go pricing model. You only pay for the compute and storage resources your squids consume. Data from the SQD Network is provided free of charge, with no hidden fees or data egress costs.

<Tip>
  Use our interactive cost calculator below to estimate your monthly costs based
  on your specific requirements. Estimates use pricing effective April 1, 2026.
</Tip>

## Estimate Your Costs

<CostCalculator />

## Free Tier

<Info>
  Each account includes a free playground
  [organization](/en/cloud/resources/organizations) where you can deploy a
  single squid at no cost. This is perfect for testing, learning, and small
  projects. See [playground
  organization](/en/cloud/resources/organizations#playgrounds) for limitations
  and details.
</Info>

## Professional Organizations

To deploy production-ready squids with full [resource configuration](/en/cloud/reference/scale), upgrade to a [Professional organization](/en/cloud/resources/organizations#professional-organizations). Professional status unlocks powerful features and generous allowances:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Unlimited API Requests" icon="infinity">
    No metering or throttling on GraphQL API requests. Scale your application without worrying about query limits.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Flexible Deployment Options" icon="server">
    Deploy unlimited [dedicated](/en/cloud/reference/scale#dedicated) and
    [collocated](/en/cloud/reference/scale#dedicated) squids with full control
    over compute profiles.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Generous RPC Allowance" icon="network-wired">
    2 million [RPC addon](/en/cloud/resources/rpc-proxy) requests included
    monthly, then `$2` per additional million requests (until March 31, 2026) or `$5` per additional million requests (from April 1, 2026).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Priority Support" icon="headset">
    Get faster response times and dedicated assistance from our support team for production issues.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Billing Details

Billing is based on actual resource consumption and occurs monthly, typically on the first day of each month. You're only charged for the hours your squids are running and the storage they use.

<Note>
  All compute resources are billed hourly. If you deploy a squid mid-month,
  you'll only pay for the actual hours it runs, not the full month.
</Note>

## Enterprise Plans

<Tip>
  Need custom SLAs, volume discounts, or dedicated infrastructure? We offer
  enterprise plans tailored to high-volume use cases. [Book a
  demo](https://calendly.com/t-tyrie-subsquid/30min) to discuss your
  requirements and get a personalized quote.
